I've been wondering if I've got babesiosis again.

My symptoms - I sweat at night - not a lot, not like the first time,

and when I wake up I've got the chills, altho as the day progresses

both of those go away.

Recently *great* fatigue - mental and physical. I feel like I can

hardly move, and thinking is very difficult.

It's so hard to know - this could be Lyme itself or a co-infection, or

something totally different - such as stress.

Fatigue is practically epidemic.

Wondering if my symptoms are similar to those of you who are sure you

have babesiosis.

Other than described above, I have no symptoms. But this fatigue is

horrible. Just today I'm sitting here, missing a dental appt I had to

wait months for, cuz it's just too much trouble.

appreciate any feed-back,

I was on artemisinin for a couple of weeks and my liver became so elevated. Also

did the mepron & zithromax at the same time. I stopped the artemisinin and

stayed on the mepron & zith for 4 months. My LLMD in Wales doctor told me 2

months but I knew that wasn't enough. I am one of the lucky ones and insurance

paid 100% so I stayed on it for 4 months until all the symptoms were gone-like

sweats, air hunger etc. I've been off it since begin January and have no babs

symptoms

Its important to stay on the mep for at least 4 months because of the life

cycle of red blood. For me, I knew that the herbs weren't enough-like now am on

abx-klacid, amoxy plus knotwood, smilax & andrographis . Also samento & burbur.

also pulsed flagyl the lst 6 months until I had no herx on 550 mg x 2 and when I

1st started it I couldn't tolerate it at all. I did only abx 20 years ago and

never got rid of the lyme but then wasn't treated for co-infections because they

didn't know about it. Am trying everything to try and get rid of them and would

not rely on one protocol. Am doing great now!!! But might have to stay on abx

for an indefinite and/or indeterminate time so... But I have a quality of life

now that I haven't had for 20 years. It's almost 1 year since I started

treatment.

It's so important to stay on the meds until you have no symptoms or not

herx. And get the liver checked often! -lyme and co since 4 July 1988

Carolyn, where is the best place to buy cryptolepis?

You are so right that it is hard to tell which symptom is from which

infection when you have several infections.

Hi there,

I got my cryptolepis [2 lots of 4oz bottles] from www.woodlandessence.com

Each bottle lasts about 14 days at 3 teaspoons a day, so I have enough

for a second 14 day course a bit later,

Carolyn
